An electric bell Q or other suitable audible electric signal is put in circuit with the electromagnet and the electric battery It for same, one or more electric push-buttons S being included in the same circuit. In a barher-shop or other place where there are sev eral workmen or attendants one of a series of the push-buttons will be arranged convehient to each of said workmen or attendants, and the closing of the same will result in an energization or the aforesaid electromagnet and audible si nal. to eftect the operation above specified. In practice the electromegnet, signal, and battery will be preferably within the casing for the mechanism herein set forth.

soldered or otherwise fastened at one end Within. the units-wheel B is a suitably-bent spring-wire catch T, the other end of which is uided in an aperture provided in the partition of said wheel, A cam-plate U is arranged in the casing in the path of a bend 71, of the sprin -catch', and at about the completion of eac revolution of the units-wheel said catch is moved inward to be brought into opposition to one of the lugs c of the tens- Wheel, the time being such that as said unitswheel completes a revolution to exposeits figure 0 said tens-wheel will be moved one step of its revolution.

Spring-detents V WV are arranged to exert friction on the disks F G, and thereby prevent back-lash of the number-wheels.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In an indicator the combination of a stationary arbor, a units-wneel and a tenswheel each having a sleeve-hub loose on the arbor, a disk rigid with each wheel-hub and provided with lateral lugs coincident with arbitrary divisions of the companion wheel,

.inner radial lugs with which the rim of the tens-wheel is provided coincident with its arbitrary divisions, a spring-controlled rocker, a paw in pivotal connection with the rocker and operative in conjunction with the lugs oi the disk companion to the units-wheel, sprin catch in connection with said units whee a cam arranged to move the catch in opposition to a radial lug of the tens-wheel at a predetermined time in the revolution of said units-wheel, an electromagnct, and a rocker-actuating arm extending from. the armature of the magneti 2.
